Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

Figured I could get the best recommendations here since most "breadtubers" seem to be fundamentally liberal, milquetoast socdem types. Especially interested in theory, etc. topics like that. The longer the video the better.

It's good to add these disclaimers so people aren't blindsided finding this out from other sources. I would still say this is a case where we need to separate the work from the personal life of the author as there really is nothing else like his content out there, not on the topics he covers and not in that kind of depth which unfortunately makes this content an invaluable learning resource. I wish more channels would make those kinds of videos. Hakim used to but lately his videos have gotten more shallow/general and less academic/historical, which is not necessarily a bad thing, he's just trying to reach a different target audience, one that is less well versed in Marxist theory and history. And that is important too, we need to build mass appeal, but for those of us who have already been studying Marxism-Leninism for some time it's sort of preaching to the choir... i miss the historical deep dives.

Being able to look past these things is good. I don't like mentioning this whenever his channel is suggested but I would have wanted others to do the same
